This episode wasn’t part of the original plan — but life has a way of calling for a pause when the weight gets heavy.

Instead of continuing the next chapter of my story, I’m opening up about the emotional space I’ve found myself in lately. When the noise gets loud and the doubts creep in, sometimes the most honest thing we can do is just show up as we are.

This isn’t a breakdown. It’s a check-in. A moment to reflect on what it means to be in the middle of it all — not on the other side, not with it all figured out — just human.

If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, second-guessing yourself, or carrying more than you let on… this one’s for you.
